[gui-talk] Retaining formatting in MSword 2003

[Dean Martineau]

One useful keystroke combination is shift+ctrl+c to copy the format of text
and then shift+ctrl+v, which pastes the format.  There's probably a smoother
way, but at a minimum, you could copy and paste the text, then, if the
resulting format isn't what you desire, you could copy and paste the format.

Subject: [gui-talk] Retaining formatting in MSword 2003

If anyone can make a suggestion and help me, I would appreciate it.

I have recently started using Word 2003. When I copy and paste from an
existing document into my new document, the formatting of the existing
document is not retained. What settings do I need to change in Word so that
existing formatting, style,line justification, etc. is retained? This will
help me a great deal,as it takes a long time to proof documents and make
sure formatting is correct. Thank you.
